w~ vector

This encodes the angular variation in phase state of a spherical vesicle.
Essentially, each element of w~ (w~ is of length L) is the “lth” grand sum of each Clij matrix. The grand sum of a matrix is simply the sum of all its elements. We can use numpy to do this automatically:

import numpy as np
x = np.matrix([[1, 2], [4, 3]])
print("x.sum") # prints 10
